senator obama believes that also. but we both recognize that the we have come a long way from the old injustices that once sustained our nation's reputations and denied some americans the full blessings of american citizenship, the memory of them still has the power to wound. a century ago, president theodore roosevelt's invitation of booker t. washington to dine at the white house was taken as an outrage in many quarters. america today is a world away from the cruel and prideful bigotry of that time. there is no better evidence of this than the election of an african-american to the presidency of the united states. let there be no reason now -- [applause] let there be no reason now for any american to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on earth.

obama brought people together. i think mitt romney made a couple of missteps that served to decrease which he could have done with minority voters. it is not clear what will happen with the demand -- with the democratic party when obama is gone in 2016. will there be a candidate who steps in and continues that enthusiasm with high record turnout rates? or, if you have a john kerry of the candidate, that did not perform well. >> you have news and worried all year but the implications of the republican party. -- you have mused and worried all year about the implications of the republican party. what are the implications of mitt romney and the republican party losing? >> the demographics that we have all discussed have been obvious for a long time. the proportion of whites in the national electorate of the last four presidential campaigns has gone 81%, 77%, 74%, 72%. this is not a secret. but sometimes, the of this does not become apparent until we have an election like this. but now the obvious is readily apparent to

obama calls in and says we need a common ground. i need you to be my emissary to congressional republicans and get them to go along with the simpson-bulls tied grand bargain. what does from the same? at the same time, while congressional republicans are not want to exactly dow down to governor romney, and remember when paul ryan after the 2010 elections, he was an icon for them, came back to the freshmen and said we cannot do the budget cuts we promised you right now. they threw him out of the room. they are not 6 " to be eager to do that. you can gain significant leverage by moving in that direction, and it would not surprise me that obama has a couple of cards up his sleeve to turn the bully pulpit into a more potent weapon in the next month. >> there are other ways of doing that. one is i think he will have simpson and bowles by his side on this. he has already committed to using that as the framework. there is evidence around that the white house has been working on revisions to that, giving it some specifics that would make it
